Wankers! - The website where you can name and shame

This website was born out of frustration:

  • Frustration with incompetence

  • Frustration with lies

  • Frustration with pathetic customer service

  • Frustration with ‘jobsworths’

  • Frustration with people finding reasons to not do something, rather than ways to make things happen

Why ‘wankers!’? because I find myself slamming down the phone and yelling ‘wankers!’ at the sheer frustration of talking to people with the intelligence of a doughnut, the intellect of a doorstop and the wit of a park bench.

For those who don’t know what a ‘jobsworth’ is, it’s someone who lacks any initiative and, when faced with a decision, replies ‘more than me jobs worth, mate’.

So I’ve decided to name and shame anyone who causes me to shout ‘wanker!’. I’ll do this without fear or favour, because I’m quite happy to tell everyone about my experiences with suppliers, with full chapter and verse. Then others can make up their own minds whether to use these organisations or not.

There are websites out there where people can sound off, such as hellopeter, rate-it and more, and where suppliers are given the opportunity to respond and even make things right. And there are blogs, social media platforms, newspapers and other media. It’s not my intention to copy them, or to make money out of this website. I just want a platform where I can shout my frustrations and hopefully a senior person at the organisation will read it and, more importantly, do something about it.

If anyone else wants to add their ‘shout’ you are welcome to send it to info@wankers.co.za . You must supply your name and email address and full details of the event that has frustrated you including names and dates. I will send a confirming email to ensure that the email actually exists, just to make sure nobody is abusing this website. I won’t publish the email address, it’s just for my protection, so no Hotmail, etc addresses please. Send me a ‘handle’ and a title and i’ll show that. If there is sufficient interest I’ll add the ability for people to upload their ‘shouts’. No political, racial, gender, religious or government issues please – just good old consumer issues. Please note that I reserve the right to include or exclude any submission.

Let’s get these wankers listed and force them to take notice!
